I totally forgot that I had few pieces of aloe vera in the fridge. I got it from Oma (Agek's MIL) when I went to her place with Vivi few days ago.
I read a local on-line article that fresh aloe vera is good and can be used for face mask as it will tighten pores. I just started using it this afternoon, so the result isn't visible yet.
Anyway, I found a funny but ironic 4th e-card :)
China. It's huge, cheap and greedy. But I love its food and I should love my ancestors, too! So, go China! Woohoo :D
and only bought one book!
I even impressed myself by borrowing a pen/scrap of paper and writing down the ones I want now...but will request through the library...
Bought:
and looking forward to these releases:
How long do you take in the shower?

When I'm in a hurry, less than 10 minutes. But when I gotta shave my pits, legs, and groom the cooch, you're looking at least 20 minutes!

The Fourth of July was always one of my favorite holidays in the US. Not that I'm terribly patriotic or anything, just...there are fireworks and BBQs and its an excuse to drink = HELLO PERFECT HOLIDAY.
Now, it of course means something else to me. It makes me miss home.
While I'll be having fun tonight celebrating Iain's birthday (it's tomorrow!) down by the Thames...there's a part of my heart that will be back home in my parents back yard, drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade and with a over excitable chihuahua at my feet. (Praying for crumbs.)
If I could fly back home today, even just for a couple hours and to see my parents and my sister, I would in a heart beat.
On the Fourth we'd always go to the same spot to watch fire works. My mom and my sister and I would lay on our backs and wait expectantly for the Sperm Fire Works.
If you don't know which ones I'm talking about, the you don't know what you're missing out.
They're the bright, white ones that look like tad-poles when they're first launched, but then go off in crazy directions...as if searching for a big, unfertilized egg in the sky.
It dawned on me a couple of years ago that they totally looked like gigantic sperm. I started laughing hysterically - only to notice that my sister was cackling to herself as well. Then my mom started laughing,
"OH MY GOD THEY LOOK LIKE SPERM!!!!"
Hopefully the Fourth of July Sperm Fireworks won't be nearly as fun without me this year...(If I can't have a fully complete Fourth of July THEN NOBODY SHOULD.)
Happy Independence Day, my fellow Americans.
May this recession end soon, may the gas prices go down, and may all of your BBQ's be fully cooked so you don't end up with the shits all weekend.
This song reminds me of home...
Happy Independence Day to all the groovy US-ians! Here's hoping by next year we'll have a country on the road to recovery....but even with all our problems...I'm still glad I'm an Uhmerican. (although being a true Englishman would be cool, too)
(No comment on the passing of Jesse Helms)
Already got the grocery shopping out of the way...wooot!
Trying to convince myself to NOT buy a book...but I think I'm fighting a losing battle.
Gonna whip up a BLT for lunch and then head to Starbucks (and probably Borders...heh)
In honor of Independence Day, show us something patriotic.

How are you celebrating the 4th of July?
I don't celebrate as I'm not American :) But my friend Bertha is having her birthday today. She's Indonesian, but has been living in Atlanta for many years. I sent her an e-card yesterday.
And I also sent a 4th e-card to my American friends and my grand-auntie. She is American by nationality, the youngest sister of my (late) gramma.
Consider the above e-card is sent to you too, American Vox, and enjoy the freedom and the holiday! :)
